    (b)   When it has been determined that a person coming under the purview of this Act has failed to obtain an appropriate license or licenses, CLEET may generally take the following actions found in Appendix B of this Chapter to ensure compliance:
    (1)   The person may be assessed a disciplinary penalty or fine, which shall be issued along with notification of non-compliance.
    (2)   The person shall submit properly completed application forms, associated materials, and the correct fees, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the initial notification.
    (3)   If the person fails to comply with this section, CLEET shall notify the person of its intent to prosecute for non-compliance;

    (d)   Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed so as to prohibit or discourage CLEET, or any law enforcement Agency, from taking immediate, lawful action in the enforcement of the provisions of the Act, or other laws of the State of Oklahoma.
